Speaking on Sky Sports earlier this season, Neville said of using the camera angle: "A lot of people watch the game but they don't see the game.

"For the first 15-20 minutes, I'll stand there and watch the big camera and get a picture of the game. Then, I might come and sit back down, when I've got a picture of the game and the patterns.

"If something changes on the screen people are seeing at home, I might go back to the big screen and think "well, what's happened?" You're looking at the game differently, you're looking at it as a coach."

While the training session was open to media and photographers for 15 minutes, the doors then closed for two hours as the former Sky Sports pundit made his final plans for the must-win game against Lyon - not that he was willing to reveal anything to the local press:

"I think there’s a fascination with playing style these days, you asked Dani [Parejo] if we’ll play possession or counter-attack. Can we not play both?

"I believe in possession, of course I do, but I also believe in counter-attack.

"I could think about [playing with two forwards] because we have quality strikers but the thing with Alvaro [Negredo] is to bring him back in little by little because he hasn’t done that much training.

"It has to be our own pace, that suits Alvaro and the doctors and fitness coaches, but there is the chance for us to play with two strikers at some point.

"The players will know first, although you lot already know probably!"
